Democrats keep trying to increase minimum wage, read a fucking News source.

The problem is, we need caps on profit margins on necessities, and to stop the making of things we need for basic survival investment opportunities.

But that would be difficult to get done. So they go for the low hanging fruit of wages, which never permanently solve anything because they’ll just keep raising prices under this scamflation cycle we’ve been in since COVID.

Every service that is necessary for human survival should have a not-for-profit vendor.
